We went to El Dorado for the 4th of July. Izzy loves going to visit our cousins and family! The place we stayed in had a huge room, so we all fit comfortably. Izzy liked taking the cushions off the couch and making a bed on the floor.
Chloe was happy too! After 8 hours in the car, the girls enjoyed finally getting to stretch out!
We were able to celebrate Hamilton's birthday while we were there. Aunt Melissa threw an adorable "Splash" party. They have a great backyard, so she set up a bunch of blow-up pools. Izzy had fun, but she did not like the bathing suit that I packed for her. She was so uncomfortable. She hates for her stomach to show. But what doesn't make since... she'd rather go naked! Doesn't make since to us either.
On the last day, Aunt Melissa, Uncle Jason, Hamilton, NawNa and Grampy met us at a cute soda shop for breakfast/lunch. They had cute ice-cream cupcakes. I think it was a bit early, but I had to let Izzy have one. I actually think all the sugar helped her go to sleep faster in the car. (I know, I'm not going to claim 'mother of the year' anytime soon!)
Chloe really took up with Uncle Jason!
The trip home was very interesting. We were trying to potty train Izzy at the time. As you know, when a child says she needs to go, she needs to go right then! Izzy decided that she needed to go at a spot where there was no gas station for miles. So, I had to let her go on the side of the road. This was gross! I think I left 100 wet wipes on the side of the road. However, Izzy loved it! For months after the trip, she wanted to go potty in our yard. (All my friends laugh at me because my "girly girl" is not always girly!)
On the way home, we stopped in Memphis at the Spaghetti Factory. This is a great restaurant and very kid friendly! It has a train you can eat in. Izzy loved it! They also have a man the goes around making balloon animals for the kids. Izzy got an adorable/obnoxious hat. The man made a heart saber for Chloe, which Izzy took over. She said she was just taking care of it for her.
